Halogenoalkanes and Alcohols Flashcards
What are the three classifications of halogenoalkanes?
Primary, Secondary and tertiary
What is Nuclearphilic Substitution?
Swapping a halogen atom for another atom or groups of atoms.
What does the rate of these substitutions depend on?
The strength of the C-X bond.
What happens when aqueous silver nitrate reacts with an halogenoalkane?
The halide leaves the group and reacts with a Silver ion to form a silver halide.
What color is the precipitate of Silver Iodide?
Yellow
What color is the precipitate of Silver Bromide?
Cream
What color is the precipitate of Silver Chloride?
White
What is more reactive primary, secondary, or tertiary?
Primary
What is the change in the functional group in Nucleophilic Substitution with aqueous hydroxide?
Halogenoalkane to alcohol
What is the reagent and the role of it?
Potassium Hydroxide is the Nucleophile.
What are the conditions of the reaction?
Heat under reflux in an aqueous solution.
What is the change in the functional group in the Nucleophilic substitution of halogenoalkane to amine?
Halogenoalkane to amine
What is the reagent and the role of it?
Ammonia(dissolve in ethanol) is a Nucleophile.
What are the conditions?
Heating under pressure in a sealed tube.
What is the change in the functional groups in the elimination reaction with alcoholic hydroxide ions?
Halogenoalkanes to alkenes
